IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency
Islamabad, Jan 17, IRNA -- Pakistan on Monday categorically rejected a US media report that Islamabad has helped American commandos in their covert operation inside Iran against the country`s nuclear program. "There is no such collaboration. We do not have any information of Iran nuclear program," Foreign Office spokesman Masood Khan said. Reports suggest that an American journalist, Seymour Hersh, has claimed that US commandos are operating inside Iran against its peaceful nuclear activities. Hersh also claimed that they have been aided by information from the government of Pakistan. "I categorically reject the report, which has been exaggerated. I do not think there is any substance in the report, the spokesman added. "We have close relations with Iran as we have with the US," the spokesman said, adding that Pakistan is not providing any information to the United States or any international agency.
